Re[2]: fun with retriggering ...the JamMan

     Someone may have mentioned this already; if so my apologies for 
     sitting at the back and not paying attention...
     
     But - whilst I don't know if the JM can retrigger in loop mode using 
     midi (some people have mentioned interesting effects when its synched 
     to a drum box etc) I think I achieved similar results to Kim's 
various 
     rhythmic overlays in Echo mode. Tap-in a shortish delay with 8 or 9 
     repeats (for example), let it build a bit, then tap and play slightly 
     longer than the existing phrase, tap again and it restarts the 
     sequence from the point you entered the new phrase. Obviously you can 
     gradually extend this ad infinitum.
     
     I've not had a chance to really listen to the results of this yet 
(now 
     here's a non-guitar looping problem - just how DO you get a reluctant 
     six year old to go to bed so that you can get a hour's looping done 
     before his mother returns from the PTA meeting?!) but it seemed to 
     set-up a series of interweaving rhythms which might not be as complex 
     as the ones Kim described but have a charm of their own.
